The basement of the heritage house next door is home to the Thai consulate.

33 Isabella would be a great place for the Thai consulate.

Why is it so tiny?

 

[innsertnamehere]

Exactly my thought. Maybe they don't want to disturb the existing garage below?

Spending $3,500 on a locator wouldn't prevent that...

I think we've found the missing middle. #caseclosed

This is 3 blocks from Bloor, 1/2 a block from Yonge. It look very suburban and under-scaled to me.

Staff don't seem to share your opinion:

"The current building as proposed has an overall height of 25.5 metres and contains a mezzanine level, which technically classifies this building as a mid-rise building at 5- storeys. As a result, the applicable guidelines would be the Avenue and Mid-Rise Buildings Study, rather than the Townhouse & Low-Rise Apartment Guidelines. Staff have requested that the building be reduced in height and the mezzanine be eliminated in order to classify this building as a low-rise building."

So much for "guidelines".
